Han was drafted by the New York Liberty 14th overall in the 2019 WNBA draft.[3] She was the youngest player in her draft class.[4]

In her rookie season, she was the tallest player in the league and the second-tallest player in league history. She drew comparisons to fellow Chinese basketball player Yao Ming.[5][4]

In May 2020, it was announced that Han would sit out the 2020 WNBA season to remain in China due to the coronavirus pandemic.[6][7]
